A hair care or hair cleansing composition or a skin care or skin cleansing composition, comprising a liquid and a fibrous material of natural origin obtained from plants,
- wherein the fibrous material comprises micro-scaled and/or nano-scaled fibril agglomerates,
- wherein the micro-scaled fibril agglomerates have an average length in the range of 500 nm-1000 μm,
- wherein the nano-scale fibril agglomerates have an average length in the range of 10 nm to 500 nm,
- and wherein the fibrous material contains more than 10 wt % xylose referred to the total weight of the fibrous material.
A method to produce a hair care or hair cleansing composition or a skin care or skin cleansing composition, comprising a liquid and a fibrous material of natural origin obtained from plants, comprising at least the steps of
- a) comminuting dry pulp by mechanical means;
- b) dispersing said comminuted pulp in a liquid;
- and
- c) further comminuting the pulp dispersed in the liquid to form a mixture comprising the liquid and the fibrous material comprising micro-scaled and/or nano-scaled fibril agglomerates, wherein the micro-scaled fibril agglomerates have an average length in the range of 500 nm-1000 μm, and
- wherein the nano-scale fibril agglomerates have an average length in the range of 10 nm to 500 nm;
- wherein the fibrous material contains more than 10 wt % xylose referred to the total weight of the fibrous material.
